Green Burial: Elizabeth Fournier, The Green Reaper Elizabeth Fournier, owner and founder of Cornerstone Funeral Services in Boring, Oregon, and the author of The Green Burial Handbook, talks about what green burial is, what it isn’t, and how you can work with a funeral director to get the kind of burial you or your loved ones want. Learn about the surprisingly non-environmentally friendly footprint of traditional cremation and the new practices of aqua-cremation and organic reduction.

Elizabeth Fournier always wanted to work in funeral service. She was drawn to the service in this profession, and fascinated by its technical skills. Today she works "for a better living" - with Nature's tech - and she's proudly known far and wide as The Green Reaper.         Fournier is a national advocate for Green Burial, practices that are changing her profession's enviro impacts, and helping her fellow humans better connect Life to our Earthly nature, at Life's end. She compares the importance of ecological funerals to our society's everyday efforts to decrease human impacts - by supporting renewable energy, by driving hybrid or electric cars, by eating healthy foods, by promoting sustainable agriculture, by using their own cloth bags at the grocery store, and so on. Fournier celebrates how the ideas of a green lifestyle are carrying over to how we handle the dead. Fournier's Cornerstone Funeral Services, outside Portland OR, makes her the Undertaker of Boring (OR), her tiny rural town. She serves on the Advisory Board for the Green Burial Council, and lives on a farm with her husband, daughter, and many rescue goats. Her 2018 Green Burial Guidebook details the practical changes she champions.  THANKS to Andy Heaslet, Earthworms audio engineer, and to Jon Valley of KDHX Production.

Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum, a venerable St. Louis historic site, is a national leader in advancing Green Burial. Their service for a dear friend's sister, Mary Ann, was simple and moving. Her body was wrapped in a linen shroud, so her physical form was right there with us. She was a tall woman. Gracie, one of Bellefontaine's staff I know through Green work, led her crew in bringing Mary Ann's body to the grave site, drawn on a wooden cart with big metal wheels. A wreath of flowers lay over her heart. The open grave was shallow, maybe only three feet deep, lined with a profusion of plant matter! In the center of the mass of pine boughs, prairie grasses and all kinds of flowers was a circle of sunflower blooms.  After the simple service, Bellefontaine staff lowered Mary Ann's body into the grave with long fabric straps. No machinery, no concrete, no elaborate box. Simply a human body, laid gently into Earth. Three huge urns of flowers and leafy branches were waiting by the grave. Everyone joined in covering Mary Ann with these beautiful plants, and then we could take turns adding shovels from the pile of soil removed from the grave. The stuff of Earth will energize Earth's processes of decomposition, over time. No chemicals, nothing toxic. Everything formerly living, returning to Earth. I noted the trees around the gravesite Mary Ann had chosen. Oaks, the mightiest hosts of insect life, supporting and restoring bonds in the Web of Life our species works so hard to break. Elements of Body, Mind, Feeling and Spirit - all there, in a quiet and simple way. What a gift to be there on that summer day.   - Jean Ponzi   ​   Links: Greeenwood, Forest Bathing, previous Green Burial?

Despite the many upsides of age, the Feisty Side of Fifty is time to realize that life won’t go on forever. The majority of us boomers, moreover, hope to leave the world a better place. In fact, we volunteer, recycle, grow our own veggies and clean our beloved hiking trails.  But have you given much thought to the ultimate act of environmental volunteerism? You know, the one gift you give... after you die? Our guest, Elizabeth Fournier, a lifetime mortician, also known as the “green reaper” is here to educate you on “going green” as your last heroic act of volunteerism. She’ll be sharing information and insights from her book, The Green Burial Guidebook: Everything You Need to Plan an Affordable, Environmentally Friendly Burial. This fascinating new way of burial is kinder to humans, the earth and our wallets and, if you care about leaving a lasting legacy even after you’re gone, you won’t want to miss hearing what Elizabeth has to say!

The Green Reaper: Memoirs of an Eco-Mortician (2017). In her memoir, Elizabeth Fournier writes about her calling to the funeral industry, and how her early struggles helped shape her life ministry: taking care of the dead and preparing more meaningful burials. The Green Burial guidebook: Everything You Need to Plan an Affordable, Environmentally Friendly Burial (2018). Despite the widespread attention garnered by Jessica Mitford's 1963 exposé of the funeral industry, The American Way of Death, the American way of death still includes average funeral expenses of between $8,000 and $12,000. What's more, every year conventional burials in the U.S. bury 800,000 gallons of embalming fluid, containing carcinogenic formaldehyde; hundreds of thousands of tons of wood, steel, copper, and bronze caskets; and millions of tons of concrete vaults. There isa better way and Fournier, affectionately dubbed the "Green Reaper," walks readers through it, step-by-step. With green burial and home funeral basics to legal how and what's; choices in practices (at home, at sea, etc.); and even detours into examples of celebrity green burials; this is comprehensive and compassionate guidance. The idea of a "good death" has been much discussed. Fournier points the way to good post-deaths, ones that consider the environmental well-being of the planet and the economic well-being of loved ones. http://www.elizabethfournier.com/

Junk Raft (starts 6:20) Marcus Eriksen discusses what can and cannot be done about the "plastic smog" of microscopic debris permeating the world's ocean, from the state-sized floating islands of plastic in the Pacific, to the microscopic debris that sinks all the way down the the deepest parts of the Pacific, OR gets eaten and into the food chain.  Eriksen is author of the book Junk Raft, recounting his adventures when he sailed the Pacific from L.A. to Hawaii on a raft made of garbage to bring attention to the issue. The Green Reaper (starts 19:10) Elizabeth Fournier, a mortician from Oregon, is known to some as "The Green Reaper." She offers and advocates for natural burial services for those who want to extend their environmental ethos from life on into death.

http://www.alainguillot.com/elizabeth-fournier/ The typical burial in North America cost about $10,000. The sad thing about that absurd prices is that the surviving members of the family are too sad, too stressed, and under a time limit to shop around for better options. In addition to losing a loved member of the family, two other bad things happen: Generally, families don't have $10,000 at their disposal to pay for funeral arrangements. Many families go into debt. Every burial creates too much damage to the environment. Burials across North America use tons of good wood, concrete, metals as well as millions of gallons of carcinogenic embalming fluid. Imagine that your aunt who has always been conscious of the environment. It would be disturbing to know that her last interaction with the planet would be one of pollution. [caption id="attachment_5479" align="aligncenter" width="546"] This burial is very polluting. Look at the hard wood, the metal, the concrete vault.[/caption] Expenses related to a burial Basic Fees Funeral planning Permits and copies of death certificates Preparation of notices Sheltering the body Coordination of with cemetery, cremation, or other parties Optional Services and merchandise Transportation (you can use your own vehicle) Embalming and other preparations (This is carcinogenic fluid are not necessary. Eliminating this service can save you hundreds of dollars) Use of funeral home for the viewing (This can done at other venues or not done at all) Casket: The average casket costs slightly more than $2,000, but mahogany, bronze or copper caskets can sell for as much as $10,000. Pine caskets are a less expensive option, but funeral homes don't like to display them. You can buy one from Cosco, Amazon, or Walmart for significantly less. Casket rental: If you decide to cremate, you can rent the casket, you don't have to buy it. [caption id="attachment_5480" align="aligncenter" width="659"] This is an inexpensive and environmentally friendly burial[/caption] Environmental damage Hundreds of pound of good wood used as caskets Metals Cushion Burial vaults made of cement Gallons of toxic, carcinogenic embalming fluid The disposal of the blood in the water system. The waste of land use as cemeteries. The maintenance of the green grass in the cemetery. Hundreds of hour of labor plus the pollution generated by the machinery to cut the grass and make it look natural. There is nothing more unnatural than golf course grass. No to mention all the chemicals used as fertilizers. Alternative to polluting burials Natural burial: burial in a way to allow natural decomposition of the body. In Quebec, natural burials are not allowed. In some other provinces, allowed. In some states in the United States, it's allowed. In some other states, it's not allowed. Highlights from the interview [caption id="attachment_5481" align="aligncenter" width="317"] Elizabeth Fournier[/caption] Elizabeth Fournier, also known as the "Green Reaper,"  has been in the funeral industry for 28 years. She started her career as a funeral director and then she opened her own funeral home, Cornerstone Funeral Services, in Boring, Oregon. At one time, Elizabeth was also a ballroom instructor (like me :) ) During her infancy, she saw the death of many family members and she became familiar with the procedures. As she was living her life, friends would ask her opinion and when their relative would pass away. A lot of people are unprepared for all the expenses of death. A regular person lives on the financial edge, just barely making it, then they go through the long period of pre-death, which is very expensive. Finally, at the time of death, the family finds out the true cost of death. "It's free to be born, but it's not free to die." People can plan their wedding, people can plan to have kids, but sometimes death arrives by surprise and there are no financial arrangements for the dead. It's an expense that for the most part, the family members have to pay right away. Natural burials have always been the norm until about 150 years ago. In the United States, people started embalming at the time of the Civil War, when there were a lot of bodies that needed to be preserved until they were transported to their families. The most popular form of burial is by cremation because it's less expensive, but natural burials are gaining popularity and it's growing. One of the new tendencies of the industry is called water cremation. Other more creative things are: sending the ashes into space; creating diamond rings or earrings with the ashes, tattoo ink and having a tattoo.

Elizabeth Fournier was a young girl when she dealt with the passing of several close family members. Through her grief, Elizabeth spent time in funeral homes and at funerals as a way of coping with her loss. When she began her career in the 90's as a blonde woman who wanted to work in the mortician's office, she faced a number of difficulties. Now, Elizabeth has written the book (literally) on green burials and is affectionately known as The Green Reaper. This is an incredible interesting topic surrounding the idea of how we can become one with nature again when we pass and Elizabeth is a fountain of knowledge around helping families plan a burial that is both economical and ecological. -- Resources mentioned in this episode: Could the Funeral of the Future Help Heal the Environment? - Smithsonian Magazine The Green Reaper -- Check out Elizabeth's work in The Green Burial Guidebook.

I have a particular weakness for men and women with stories of dates gone horribly wrong. And I think I’m already on record as having a general weakness for all kinds of women. Add that to the fact I frequently like to help new authors, and how could I say no to Elizabeth Fournier, who has written the ticklish new book, All Men Are Cremated Equal: My 77 Blind Dates. Besides amusing us with psycho-social encounters, Elizabeth brings an extra dimension to her story thanks to her vocation: she’s mortician.

Another fascinating interview with Elizabeth Fournier, aka the Green Reaper about choices in more eco-friendly funerals. Plus crock pot season recipes and a great DIY on creative ways to upcycle that Christmas tree.

From the fun Boom Boom cards (green edition) to our gettin local segment with Meghan Van Dyk, we had a full and entertaining hour. We talked about CSAs, trail clean ups, and finding cool local road-trips (yes, EVEN IN NJ, there are awesome scenic drives!). We were enlightened by our talk with the Green Reaper, Elizabeth Fournier, who is a green funeral director in Boring, OR. She has a wonderful way of discussing what is often a difficult topic.

A lot of Green Irene post-hurricane discussion - ideas for how to get through without electricity and other post-disaster issues and GD Lisa had some great ideas for considering greener, non-toxic materials as some of us make choices in rebuilding and renovating. Our feature interview was with the lovely and amazing Green Reaper, Elizabeth Fournier, author and funeral director who is a leader in creating meaningful green goodbyes.

Barely time for a breath during this busy show! First we had a GD Correspondent report from Green Diva Sandy in New York, NY. She told us all about the recent NY WILD Film Festival that previewed 4 films last week. Then we had our second fascinating interview with the lovely Green Reaper, Elizabeth Fournier who talked about what it means to have an earth-friendly burial.

A fascinating interview with Elizabeth Fournier, a funeral director in Oregon known as 'The Green Reaper'. Also, Green Diva Jean's report from Maine and TerraScope for November 2010.

This week we welcome The Green Reaper, Elizabeth Fournier. Elizabeth is a green burial funeral director, educator, and advocate for sustainable burial options. One of those options is natural organic reduction (NOR) or human composting. NOR is a more natural approach to the disposition of one's body after death. This process returns the body's nutrients back to the soil and produces only a tiny fraction of the environmental footprint required from more traditional burial or cremation practices. It recognizes our connection with the planet and affirms our being a part of the ecosystem of life.  Want more Body To Burial?Become a Patreon to get access to exclusive Patreon-only content and BTS.

EOC's guest on this installation of the Eyes on Conservation podcast has not only seen the profit-driven side of death, but was able to break free of something she saw as misleading, opportunistic, and ultimately serving the needs of neither the mourners, nor the deceased. Elizabeth Fournier is the owner and Funeral Director of Cornerstone Funeral Services, an institution dedicated to reducing the unnecessary costs of funeral services, restoring monetary and economical justice to clients, the deceased, and planet Earth, by offering the greenest practices possible when laying loved ones to rest. Her paradoxically radical and refreshingly simple methods have led her closest family and friends to dub her, The Green Reaper.
